           Summary: tracks with same album-/artistname and title but
                    different track number won't be transferred to an ipod
           Product: amarok
           Version: 1.4-SVN
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist lists sourceforge net
        ReportedBy: holzer inf fu-berlin de


Version:           1.4-SVN (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

OS:                Linux

if you have a few tracks, whose artist-, album- and title tags are the same, but the \
tracknumber is different, they won't be transferred to an ipod. i don't know how it \
is with other media players. it seems to me, that amarok only checks against the \
artist, the album and the title of a track, to verfiy, that it doesn't exist already \
on an ipod.

i've looked into the code and wrote a little patch, which i'll append to this bug \
report. but i think the method how remote (tracks on ipod) and local tracks are \
compared is not very well. to compare only a few tags seems a little buggy to me. \
wouldn't it be better, to generate something like a checksum of each track and take \
that afterwards for comparison?
